Letea Forest, Protected forest area in Danube Delta, Romania
The forest contains white poplar, black poplar, elm, English oak, silver lime, narrow-leafed ash, and common alder trees spread across 2,825 hectares.
The Romanian Council of Ministers established Letea Forest as the first natural reservation in Romania through Decision No. 645 in 1938.
The forest includes traditional blue and white houses covered in reeds, where local residents prepare regional Delta dishes and guide visitors in horse-drawn carriages.
Access to Letea Forest requires a boat journey from Tulcea to Sulina, followed by transportation in horse-drawn carriages due to vehicle restrictions.
The forest marks the northernmost point where tropical creeper Periploca graeca grows, creating a distinctive subtropical environment in Europe.
